posse post discovery: re-propagate old responses the first time we see a domain name #226

Open kylewm opened 10 years ago

this bit @KartikPrabhu

  1. user is signed up, but Bridgy doesn't know their domain name ∴ can't do posse-post-discovery
  2. Bridgy sees a Response but doesn't find an original post (because no ppd)
  3. User re-signs up, Bridgy gets their domain this time
  4. User writes a new post and receives a response.
  5. Bridgy runs posse-post-discovery for the first time for this Source, it catches the rel=syndication relationship, but doesn't re-propagate the old Response
  6. When refetch triggers, it goes back to look for updated rel=syndication links to re-propagate old Responses, but doesn't see this one because it was just discovered by the normal ppd mechanism!

this is the polling log: https://brid-gy.appspot.com/log?start_time=1405657609&;key=aglzfmJyaWQtZ3lyKQsSDkdvb2dsZVBsdXNQYWdlIhUxMTcxMTQwNjA4NTc3MzI0OTY2MjMM

(kidding! the alg and the bug are both still totally reasonable. if only text on the internet had tone of voice. :P)

for reference, I am pretty sure this only applies if Bridgy has never done posse-post-discovery for a particular source (i.e. it has no blank SyndicatedPosts stored in the db). If the account has a URL and changes to a different URL, or adds additional URLs, that shouldn't be a problem.

@kevinmarks probably would have liked to have this when he added known.kevinmarks.com recently.
